Every year we welcome international volunteers who stay with us for 12 months. They support us in different tasks in the office, on events and projects, and also add their ideas, always according to individual interests and skills.
With us, you will have the freedom to develop yourself on an independent basis, receive guidance when you need it, and at the same time play a crucial role in our team!
What is the European Solidarity Corps program?
You can register for the European Solidarity Corps when you are 17 years old, but you cannot start a project until you are over 18. European Solidarity Corps projects will be available to people up to the age of 30 years old. Projects supported by the European Solidarity Corps can last from two to twelve months.
The project provides a long-term opportunity for young people to develop their key competencies and express their personal commitment through full-time voluntary work in a foreign country. The focus is put on solidarity, mutual understanding, and tolerance among young people while contributing to strengthening social cohesion and promoting active citizenship.
